Aviva

Richard Neal, an employee of Aviva used to carry out the cyber attack on the company as revenge after falling out with colleagues.

He created a fake identity within his former company's system and used it to reject expenses claims from his erstwhile colleagues.

He also hacked into Esselar's Twitter account and replaced its logo with a bleeding heart - a calling card meant to make it clear that its security had been compromised.

The attack caused Essela to lose around £528,000 deal with Aviva.
